What is a Census-Designated Place?
A census-designated place (CDP) is a special kind of area. It is created by the United States Census Bureau just for counting people. CDPs are like towns or villages that have a name and a community, but they don't have their own city government. They are part of a larger township or county. This helps the government collect accurate information about where people live across the country.
